Platforms: Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S

Scheduled Release: 9/3/2024, 4 p.m. PDT / 11 p.m. UTC

THE HEADLINES

• Changes to the Demolition Camera and Audio.

• We’ll post additional Patch Notes when Season 16 begins on 9/4/2024 at 8 a.m. PDT / 3 p.m. UTC.

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Demolition Camera Changes

• After a demolition, the camera now flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.

• The camera shows your respawn position before your car respawns, giving you a chance to see what’s happening around you before rejoining the match.

  • During this window, you can move the camera around to view your surroundings.

• Demo Transition Time: Under Settings -> Camera, a new Demo Transition Time setting lets you adjust how fast the camera flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.

  • Default setting is 0.75 seconds.

  • You can adjust this setting from 0.00 (a snap transition) to 1.00 seconds.

  • A shorter transition time places the camera on your respawn point for longer.

  • A longer transition time gives you a better view of the field before spawning in.

  • Adjusting the slider does not affect how long the demolished state lasts, only when the camera moves.

Demolition Audio

• Raised the volume of the “ping” noise when a teammate is demolished.

  • Learn more about the demolition audio change we made in v2.40 here.

  • Volume for this audio cue is still tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio.
